Summary "Kantele Taikka Suomen Kansan sekä Wanhoja että Nykyisempiä Runoja ja Lauluja,…" by Elias Lönnrot is a collection of Finnish folklore and poetry compiled during the early 19th century. This anthology, which is part of a larger multi-volume series, encompasses traditional songs, poems, and oral lore that reflect the cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs of the Finnish people. The work serves as an essential repository of Finnish national identity and cultural history, showcasing a rich tapestry of myths, legends, love songs, incantations, and tales from both ancient times and more contemporary settings. The book is a compilation of various traditional Finnish poems and songs, organized into thematic sections that include narratives about nature, folklore, love, and life events. Among its contents, readers will find creations surrounding concepts such as the origins of different animals, love spells, and rituals related to life and death, showcasing a blend of humor, reverence, and superstition. Through these poetic works, Lönnrot not only aims to preserve the unique linguistic heritage of Finland but also to foster a sense of unity and pride among its people, demonstrating the significance of folklore as a means of cultural expression and historical continuity.
